Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Reading a page or submitting a search means that you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Craig County, Virginia, or any government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a reference for finding official Craig County record sources, not a private-investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store source records, submit filings, retrieve a criminal history, or conduct an official background check.

Its content directs readers to the Craig County Sheriff's Office, Craig Circuit Court, and Virginia Department of State Police, among other official custodians. Some pages also connect to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

  • Use the site in violation of a federal, state, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use the content for an employment, housing, credit, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from these pages or a linked service may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Virginia places special limits on registry misuse. Under Va. Code § 9.1-918, using Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry information to intimidate or harass, or to commit another crime, can bring criminal penalties. Registry data supports public safety, never vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. The same is true of the services offered here by advertising partners. You may not use information from the site or a linked tool to:

  • Make a credit or lending decision
  • Evaluate an applicant or employee
  • Assess a tenant or housing application
  • Set or determine insurance eligibility
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Make any other decision governed by the FCRA

A legally permitted official check should be obtained through the proper Virginia Department of State Police channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Craig County charge, conviction, warrant, expungement, or sealing provision applies to a person. Seek advice from a licensed Virginia attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and agency procedures can change. Gaps and delays are possible, and nothing published here is an official statement from the Craig County Sheriff, a court, or a Virginia agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government offices, court portals, Virginia agencies, legal resources, and independently operated search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, fees, or availability. Their terms apply once a visitor follows a link.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Craig County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, costs, and legal fees resulting from your use of the website or a breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Virginia law governs these terms. A dispute connected with use of the site must be brought in a court located in Virginia.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend or end access at any time, with or without notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be limited only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
